MonitoringSupport

Activity/Monitoring support

Current status:

• monitoring
  • ask user every N minutes with common ChangeActiveTaskDialog?
  • saves (if setted) current screenshot after every popup event
• activity detector
  • application detects user inactivity or detects too long active timeslot (aka event)
  • properties: period inactivity/too long working
  • auto pause active timeslot when there is no user actitivy in given timeout
  • auto restart paused timeslot when user activiti detected
  • feature: detecting user inactitity: Java and JNA (http://ochafik.free.fr/blog/?p=98)

Next stage:

• so application ask user: what are you doing now? (may be via tray tootip/balloon)
• user can:
  • confirm what he is doing active task
  • change task from moment of event (or manually selected moment of time)
  • stop timing from moment of event (or manually selected moment of time)

Todos:

• reimplement ChangeActiveTaskDialog?/tray icon for better usability (Unintuitive behavior for monitoring dialog - ID: 2849132, Timing mechanizm - ID: 1185191, Interface and usability in Ubuntu - ID: 2894749)
• screenshots (how useful this feature?)
  • removing old screenshots after configured days
  • ability to open linked screenshot in timeslot attribute in full size by open icon of just double click.
  • ability to delete screenshot, right from timeslot:
  • question if delete after attribute delete
  • timeslot's attribute remains but button for delete pressed.
  • in table with attributes add renderer for screenshot path and visualize the file is not found (for example deleted or moved).
  • the same but inside the attribute.
  • option in configuration to mass delete all screenshots attribute with optional to remove image files.
